Scout report
U. Saltnes is a 33-year-old central midfielder at Bodo/Glimt, rated 10.1 overall by Field Insider's model. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (19.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.3 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Saltnes.
On the season, Saltnes graded 4 for current form (age-blind), on 0 goals, 0 assists and 2.296 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 36 → 4). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 10. At 33 Saltnes is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.6 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2020/21 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Bodo/Glimt finished 1st of 16 · a title-challenging side
2.3 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 9 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 16) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 19.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 33, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 10.1 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.3 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
